Delaware River Report / Conditions October 21, 2021

We have another warm and sunny day ahead of us.  The air temp should hit 70 degrees with wind from the south at 5 – 10 mph.  That will change tomorrow with some cooler weather moving in.  The river flows haven’t changed so we are starting off a lot like yesterday.  There are some spots to wade the tailwaters but they are still high.  The Beaverkill has dropped below 500 cfs so both that river and the Willowemoc are in decent shape.  It’s still mostly small olives with some Isonychias and Heptagenisa mixed in.  The bushes are still full of caddis so they will hit the water eventually.

 

What’s Hatching:
Olive Sulphur – #18 – 20 – Heptagenia hebe
Light Cahill – #14 – Stenocron spp. , E. invaria
